"same set-up"?
Just S2000 or S2000 and TL?

I have not done a set for anyone else yet, more of a fun project for myself. It would be expensive. There is a good $1k in parts alone with a lot of labor for the quad projectors, bezels, extra bulbs and ballasts. Not counting the CCFL kit.

IMO anyone can do this with a few tools and some time. It's not that hard, just takes a lot of time and patience.

I think IvoryGT was charging something like $1,600 for a TSX/TL conversion. He does awesome work. Don't quote me on the price, that is just what I seem to remember.

^ yeah its pretty fun to see the outcome but it does take patience. Hey Ttrank when you do the Tl's can you try to give me some details on how you wired it with some pictures. That'd be appreciated thanks.

ttrank 12-09-2006 04:13 AM

I will give more details. What I plan to do is make the TL's the low/high beam and turn the S2000's into a fog light. Then I will add a set of yellow Piaa fog lights to the lower bumper for fog and rain driving.

Did you consider getting a 2500k D2S bulb for the S2000's instead of adding the PIAA's to the bumper?

khsonic03 12-09-2006 10:28 AM

Check out this thread, it shows some 3000k D2S's. Pretty nice!

Thanks for the link. Those look awesome.

The reason I wanted to just do the yellow fogs is because it is only for looks. I live in Phoenix and we don't get fog here. I would like to aim the S2000 and TL the same so I can drive with them on all the time and get the awesome output. Then if I want a little more JDM or lexus look I can turn on the yellow fogs in my lower bumper. :)

Started the TL retro last night and worked for ~4hours. Going to see if I can finish them up tonight. :D I'll start a new thread.

Dang you Tim! I have my TSX projectors staring me in the face...waiting for me to start the retro just for the low beams. And here you go already working on the next part!:) Good luck...can't wait to see it.

ttrank 12-13-2006 01:42 PM

TL's are done but had a problem with one of the halos. I'll take pics when I fix the halo.

The S2000's have a much better cutoff than the TL's.

hey do u get all this honda stuff "from the back of a truck"? Seems kinda expensive to be buying headlights and then tearing them apart.

ttrank 12-13-2006 03:23 PM

I got both of my sets of projectors from ebay. If you watch on there you can find some good deals. I got both my TL and S2000 projectors for almost half what most people sell them for on there.

Here are a few pics of the final product with the S2000/TL retro.

The lights were a bit dirty since it has been raining here. I'll get some better day ones when it clears up.
